A Miracle






I write this feeling frantic as I watch the clock slowly creep closer to 11:30 PM. I know I need to wake up for cycling in the morning at 6:30

Today I got to see a miracle.
A brand new baby.
Two parents eager and willing to give her everything.
There was nothing but happiness that filled that room, tired parents and brand new babe.
I don't know why hearing a mother's birth story makes me cry every time.
I ask every detail.
But most of all, I ask what she felt when she looked into her child's eyes for the first time.
Did she seem familiar?
Did you fall in love?
Could you do nothing but cry because you felt so close to heaven?

I am completely in love with the combination of a new mother and her baby. I always have been. It's simply beautiful.

what a beautiful way to put it, that must be a remarkable feeling to first meet your child. How is the cycling going, do you still love it? Lets get together soon.
